How does the United Way work?
- You contribute to United Way in a check/cash contribution or through payroll deduction through your place of work.
- Trained United Way volunteers study local programs in the community to determine where the money is needed and can do the most good.
- United Way combines your gift with the gifts of your friends and neighbors to distribute to the community.
- United Way funded programs assist our neighbors in need.
- When you give to the Community Impact Fund, you take advantage of United Way’s greatest strength. Knowledgeable, trained volunteers carefully identify the most critical needs n our community. They distribute funds to the programs and services meeting those needs in our community. The Community Impact Funds the most effective way for your dollars to make a difference in addressing our community most pressing needs.
- Positive changes begin to occur in the lives of those less fortunate, and our community becomes stronger.
- If you have a specific interest, we will honor designations to individual partner agencies. Remember that if you work outside Hardin County and have the opportunity to participate in a workplace campaign you may request to have your contribution returned to United Way of Hardin County where it will be used for your neighbors and community.
